Drifting a little off-topic here, but Beaulieu has looked capable on the third pair and in my view is in the process of saving his NHL career. The Tampa game was among his best in a Buffalo uniform.

Oh, yeah. He's been a capable 3rd pairing guy (maybe even a 5) whichis why I graded him out as a A against expectations. REALLY expected a few Housley to Richer's out of him by now. REALLY glad he hasn't been doing that.

Three lines I'm happy with and the one I wish was better still has 17-71, who scored two goals together not that long ago and have chemistry.

Can't blame Phil for much of anything tonight. Maybe if Pilut blows up, but Beaulieu-Nelson has been together a while and I'll take the slight risk on the Risto pair (using it heavily offensively) for the chemistry 8-82 have.
